    Too many bad at bats. I didn't expect taking both games in Houston but this one was winnable.

    Both managers shaking their heads in the dugout because Sanchez swings at shit in the dirt and is called a foul tip.

    Replay shows Sanchez missed the ball by a country mile and got a free swing, because nobody can challenge balls and strike calls.

    After numerous fouls into the rafters, after getting an extra free swing for swinging at shit he can't hit. Sanchez is just called out looking at what shoulda been ball #2, a ball few inches outside called for strike three. Sanchez throws a temper tantrum, he should have been grateful and thankful he got an extra freebie BUT left his Bat on his shoulder failing to protect the plate.

    Sanchez needs to have his vision checked or his head examined his timing is off.

    Most great hitters will tell you some of the best hits they ever had were outside the strike zone, especially outside.

    They swung at a lot of crap but watched good pitches right down the middle.

    Bingo!!!!

    Swinging at garbage the whole time down in the dirt or in the rafters, while watching the best pitches Blow by. That last pitch was probably the best pitch he was going to get.

    Yup, in extras you have to unload on those. They watched too many mistake pitches and then helped their pitchers out swinging at crap. Plus, the overswinging was terrible.

    Indeed. The Strike 3 Pitch had written all over it: "deposit me in the right field Upper Deck"
    Sanchez had the chance to be one of those players saying some of the best hits I ever got were just a bit outside...

    Happ's Season has been a lesson to young upcoming pitchers. How the Homerun ball looks. What not to throw.

    As they say down yonder: "what not like that"

    Yesterday's game was exactly what MLB wanted. The home team fights and carries over into extra innings with their "hot guy" Correa slammin a homer after a prior bad call at the plate on Sanchez in the 10th.
